This unit introduces students to the curriculum and pedagogy associated with teaching secondary mathematics (Grades 7 to 10). It is intended that students will be challenged about their ideas of the nature of mathematics. In addition, students will take part in activities that show that mathematics can be taught in more enriching ways than traditional "chalk and talk" methods. This unit will also explore and consider ways in which technology can enhance student learning of mathematics. Students will be encouraged to reflect on their own experience of learning mathematics at secondary school. The responsibility of teachers to foster positive attitudes towards mathematics in the classroom, school and wider community will also be considered.

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
